Summary/Abstract: The book offers first-ever analysis of the Polish reception of Fyodor Dostoevsky, based on 1989-1990 material from the daily „Gazeta Wyborcza”. Over 1,200 newspaper articles have been woven into a panorama of the writers’ reflections in Polish culture. The author traces the reception of Dostoevsky’s biographical narrative, his literary and journalistic oeuvre, and his correspondence, presents a comparative discussion of literary and cultural interrelations, glimpses into theatre stages and cinema theatres, traces the presence of Dostoevsky’s literary legacy in the Polish educational process, history, politics, social life, and mass and elite cultures, as well as other, surprising contexts. Special attention is paid to Dostoevsky’s world of ideas as interpreted in "Gazeta Wyborcza": his Christo- and anthropocentrism, the women’s question, “the Polish question”, “the Eastern question”, etc. The publication is aimed at humanities scholars as well as anyone interested in Fyodor Dostoevsky and Polish, Russian and world cultures.
